a refuge by their wisedome experience vnto theÌ„ in their troubles neades Thus seeing that inuasion in sumÌ„ cases is tollerable yelding sufficieÌ„t matter for noble courages to worke vpoÌ„ so that prowesse shal neuer be so shut vp but it may haue a coÌ„mendable course if theare be a regarde to the feare of God for the vertuous direction good ende theareof the warres for defeÌ„ce must neades more generallie be allowed whensoeuer wronge is offered by the enemie of anie estate to the losse vexation or empayringe of the same wheareby in bodies goodes mindes possessions fraunchises lawes iurisdictions credit honour or anye thinge that is of profit or contentation vnto theÌ„ they be anoyed or hurte the resistinge encountring wheare of is iust honourable necessarye The auÌ„cient warres of Troye Thebes arose vpon great wronges offered the first of them in the time that K. Dauid raygned the other not longe after The Grekes maintained continuall warres for their libertie to preserue their publique states vnder elected gouernours especially to auoyde subiection to anie foreine nation which they esteamed barbarous and rascall in respect of them selues The Scythiens hauinge no riche or delycate possessions of pleasant or frutefull fieldes no substaunce or store of goodes to loose yet they fought fiercelie to defende the tombes of their auÌ„cestours whereof they had their greatest care froÌ„ iniuries of the enemie defacing And generallie nature hath geueÌ„ to liuinge thinges a desire of defeÌ„ce resistinge of wronges wherefore that force is better to be allowed of theÌ„ inuasion Iudas Machabeus saide to the Israelites let vs fight for our liues our lawes And thus to cut of our course in to the antiquitie of warres seing that it is not my purpose nowe to wryte thereof yet supposinge thus muche not to be impertinent vnto hym that woulde bee a trauayler in the knoweledge and affaires of warres we conclude by plentiful proofe out of the store of histories accordinge to our propositioÌ„ That warres iustlie made for the more parte growe to good effecte and the violent empyre lasteth not longe Battail atteÌ„pted for pompe or ambitious desire of dominion not regardinge right or woÌ„ge seldome hath good successe or els the frutes had thereby soone fade suche victories take no roote But yet it remayneth to aunswere one obiection that seemeth to ouerthrowe and quyte condempne all our warres whiche is that our Lorde Iesus hath sayde that he which striketh with the swerde shall perishe with the same which is to be vnderstoode eyther of wroÌ„gfull striking ' or else betwene pryuate persons which haue the sworde of the prince defeÌ„ce of the lawe to remedie their wronges Also where it is coÌ„mauÌ„ded that he which is strykeÌ„ on the one eare should turne the other toreceaue the like it is expouÌ„ded whereas the exaÌ„ple of such singuler pacience maye greatlie auaile to make such insoleÌ„t oultrage the more odious detestable that there is a law to punish the same otherwise warres armes maye be vsed for maintenance defence of vertue ryght great good grow therof For in the x of the Actes of the Apostles we reade that the coÌ„uersation order of life of the captaine Cornelius was verie well pleasinge acceptable vnto God and in the tenth of saint Mathaew our sauiour saieth I came not to seÌ„d peace into the earth but a swerde which proueth that the same maye be vsed according to the good pleasure of God thus if we serch his will we shall finde it and knowe howe to obserue keepe it Â¶ Of vyctories which is the best and what truce maye be honourablye made Cap. ix THat victorie is most to be preferred which maye be soonest compassed obtained with least expence inconuenience losse especiallie of men wherein it is to be coÌ„sidered that the same is made more honourable of greater importaÌ„ce fame if periurie cruel murthers infamous treasoÌ„s poysoninge of victualls or such odious extremities be not vsed therein Fabius had excellent regarde of honour in his conquest when besieginge a citie of the Faliscyens a schoolemaster which had the chiefest mens sonnes of the towne in gouenrmeÌ„t teaching trayned them forth on a time apte for his purpose for hope of rewarde brought them into the enemies handes to the ende that thereby their fathers frendes shoulde be fayne to render the towne But Fabius rewarding him not iumpe accordinge to his expectation but duelie for hys desertes he caused the boyes to scurge their schole mayster well with roddes for betrayinge the trust of their parentes and so sent them home together singinge vnto the citizens which hauinge his noble vertue in highe admiration forthwith rendred vnto him the towne Dauid sought not by murder to wrest the kingdome out of the haÌ„des of Saul but punished him which had laide haÌ„des vpon his Lorde anoynted elected of god Caesar procured not Pompeye to be slayne but wept when hee sawe his enemies head Alexander pursued Bessus to reuenge the trayterous murther by him coÌ„mytted vpon his enemie kinge Darius The Romaines generallie had regarde to conquere by valure prowesse wherefore they grewe most great in Em pire were had in honour awe of all nations The Carthagynoys contrarywyse not carynge howe so they had victorie vsinge foule practises infidelitie and all bad shiftes to attaine the same shortlie lost all So that the vertue and honourable dealinge of the generall shall alwaies auayle muche to the prosperous proceadinge of his warres and more easye accomplyshynge of victorye Hee oughte to bee as a tutor or rather as a father tender and carefull ouer the souldiours committed vnto his guyde good order diligent prouidence The excellent captaines of Roome desired rather to saue one citizeÌ„ in battail theÌ„ to destroye manie enemies Crueltie is to be eschued excepte when seueritie sharpelie shewed maye geue great example But where lenitie and prudent meanes maye expresse worke th effecte of rigour euen towardes enemies the same is to be vsed that they seeinge the excellent vertue wisedome and order of gouernment in the conquerour maye the rather bee allured to commit them selues vnto him when by suffringe exchaunge of a ruler thestate of their welfare shall not be ouerthrowen or vndone nor slauerie or vile seruitude more odious then death is not sett before them most obstinatelie desperatelie to bee encountred Nowe touchinge occasioÌ„s of truce intermission of warres it is to be coÌ„sidered that the same be made done without dishonour so that the warres thereby be come not frutelesse or the armie in worse case then before as if the enemie craue that for feare which shall like auaile him and muche encourage the other partie But pollicye willeth not to seeke truce or delaye but by constrainte of necessitie or for sumÌ„ auantage to be taken as sumÌ„ ayde looked for or in the meanetime to

skilfull in vsynge of weapons is lykelye to prooue a valyaunt and an excellent souldiour But hee that feareth not to receaue hurte excepte he knowe howe to inflicte daunger doe harmes vnto the enemie is not profitable And therefore when there was one coÌ„mended vnto an expert captaine by his manie skarres of wouÌ„des receaued that he was a great souldier a verie man the captaine asked streight where is the man which hurt him thus brynge him vnto mee quod he I will entertayne him presentlie for in this case I like the geeuer better then the taker Nowe are wee next to see what exercyses are most conuenient and expedient to bee vsed of souldiours And generallie suche are moste auaylable in the seruice of warres as cause anie of these effectes that is to saye to harden the bodie to make it nymbler stronger or to bee well breathed as for the purpose wrastlynge shootinge dartynge leapinge castinge of great stones vawting swymminge and to labour in armour heauyer then the commen forte which is vsed in seruice for custome maketh labour lyght as it is pro ued by the practyse of Milo whiche begynninge to carriea Calfe into the fielde to pasture euerie daye on his necke hee continued with the same burthen till it was growen a great Oxe addynge still encrease of goodwil to supplie the daylie growing of hys burthen not sufferyng his force to be sodaynlie so surmounted that he woulde at anie time shrynke or yelde vnto the trauaile burtheÌ„ of the daye before passed So that custome seemeth to alter or excell nature eftsones Nowe the bodie beeynge made apte and nymble yet doe there twoe other exercyses remayne to bee put into the practise of a souldyour for their skyll order in warres The first is that hee exercyse to handle hys bowe peece pyke or other weapon wherwith he shal be charged nimblie cuÌ„ningly that he be able to doe his feate thearewith and if he be a horseman skilfullye to vse his horse and staffe to bee readie to mount or alight nymblye at a becke for any purpose or aduauntage to bee taken of the enemye The other practise is to be perfecte in keapynge the arrayes ranckes and orders of warre in marching encampinge fight or pursute of thenemye yea and in reducing and bringinge them selues againe into any fourme of arraye if perchaunce they shal be broken or disordered by force of the enemy that spedelie at the voyce of the Captaine or sounde of Trumpet or Drumme which alwayes stande by him for the same purpose or by any other noyse or certayne signe which hee vseth sometime secretelie and sometime open to geeue out vnderstandinge of his minde as to marche or proceade to retyre to take this waye or that And hearein it is to bee certainlye obserued a thinge by all experience alwaies approued that no force of men prouisyon power industrie or furniture can preuaile without arraye and order of battaile against the well appoynted whereof a feaw shall easelie vanquishe a multitude disordred and confusely clusteringe together The souldiour thus expert and by practise thoroughlye manned furnished and made perfecte mayster and possessour of his Arte shall boldelye and courageouslie proceade into the fielde For feawe men feare or shrinke to doe that whearein they are skillfull and well practized Now for the more endeuour and exercise to bee vsed and had hearein thorough out this lande it is a thinge not after anye other to bee looked vppon and effectuallye considered vnto reformation leaste wee doynge nothinge thinke to do muche beeinge naked vnder a nette suppose our selues armed when wee are nothinge couered For such is the dulnesse of some people I will recyte some Examples of the dilygence vsed by the moste excellent estates hearein First in the foundation of the greatest Monarchye of the worlde vnder Rome what ordynaunces and continuall excersyses of warre Romulus established theare it is not doubtfull For the Romaynes allwayes after vsynge the same orders whiche hee instituted and deliuered vnto their handes vppon the same foundation proceadynge in prowesse attayned to moste highe honour of Armes and erected their famous Empyre Tullus Hostilius and Ancus Martius kinges theare bestowed greate trauayle and industrye in encreasinge the sayde Disciplyne of warre In Lacedaemon a Citye of Grecia which by excellent gouernement grewe to haue dominion ouer dyuers Kingdomes Lycurgus the politique Prince amonge his Lawes and customes whiche hee established theare ordayned that all spare tyme shoulde bee expended in vertuous exercises and principallye in the noble practyses of Armes to gett honour and soueraynetye of the enemyes cleane cuttinge of vnthriftye wastfull ryott abandoninge delycate nycenesse and banyshinge idle and chyldishe Games as commen Cardeplaye Cayles Coytes Slydebourde Bowles and Blowepoynt which weare throwen oute of the commen wealthe From whence also hee dyscarded and expelled Ianglers Iesters Iuglers Puppetplayers Pypers and suche like vnprofitable persons in steade of which weare mayntayned menne of valure frequentynge and exercisynge actiuitye of wrastelinge dartynge throwinge the Barre the sledge vsinge the weapons of Warre in skyrmishes and

And publique places weare appoynted commodiouslye for the commen vsinge of the same and moste actyue menne to bee teachers hearein The honourable exercyses called Olimpiades celebrated in Grecia withe concourse of people from all partes of the worlde to trye valure and wynne the Vyctours Crowne thys contentyon in all practises and qualyties of vertue and commendation caused Grecia first aboue all other nations to floryshe in honour of armes learninge and other laudable trades wheare the righte and excellent Dyscipline and order of VVarre was nouryshed and maintened wythe great soueraintie dominion The famous spectacle of the exercises of Armes in Campus Martius in the latter time of the triumphant estate of Rome was of great industrie actiuitie being alwayes nolesse honourablye then duelie on the holidayes frequented and obserued of al sortes And at this daye vnder diuers estates in Germanye this diligence is vsed in trayning of souldiours preparation for warres they deuide the inhabiters of euerye citie or shire into certaine partes or baÌ„des geuing vnto them the names of such weapons as they will chose to bee charged with for their furniture seruice in the time of warres as Archers Pikemen Demilaunces such like so that theare is no able person exempted out of these orders either for exercise or supplye contribution to the charges of one sorte of these weapons which companies bee thus on their holydaies and spare times duelie trayned and practised The Turke also what numbers hee causeth from verie yonge yeares to bee brought vp and skilfullye practised vnto the feates and seruice of warres and what huge garrisons and armies of Souldiours he continuallie maintaineth it is well knowen and with all no Prince Realme or estate more free
